The drivers for various modems are locked so that the maximum setting is
not faster than that model of modem's top speed.  Try setting it up as a
null modem.  You should then be able to set the port speed faster.

You should also consider purchasing the latest version of ProTERM.  I
think the older versions have trouble keeping up with a 14.4 Kbps
modem at top speed.
